AI Is Actually Ruining Everything

In this eye-opening video, we delve deep into the sinister side of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the recent controversial dismissal of Sam Altman from OpenAI. AI, once hailed as the harbinger of progress and innovation, is now under intense scrutiny for its detrimental effects on various aspects of our lives.
From the disruptive capabilities of ChatGPT to the imaginative yet potentially perilous creations of DALL-E and Sora, AI's influence permeates every aspect of our lives.
Join us as we uncover the ways in which AI is wreaking havoc across different domains, from job displacement and privacy breaches to exacerbating societal inequalities. Despite promises of a brighter future, the reality is starkly different, with AI algorithms perpetuating bias and discrimination, amplifying echo chambers, and even influencing elections.
Furthermore, the recent upheaval at OpenAI, with the ousting of Sam Altman, sheds light on the internal struggles within the AI community. Altman, a prominent figure in the tech world, was seen as a driving force behind OpenAI's mission to ensure AI benefits all of humanity. However, his sudden departure has sparked speculation and raised questions about the direction of one of the most influential AI research organizations.

"Nothing good out of Generative AI". "It's only cost reductive." Lmao, do you not understand how monumentally beneficial a generally cost reductive technology is? You've contradicted yourself in the first 2 sentences. Yes, creative fields are going to be the first to be democratized. Everyone will have the ability to produce beautiful things. That's a good thing, not a bad thing. More wonderful creations will now be developed because people aren't inhibited by lack of skill or capital.

[@xitcix8360]

You gotta think about the future. This is just the beginning, it will take every job there is. After that, we enter a post-labor society where we just do whatever we want and rake in UBI cash. Even if we are in poverty, the incredible advancements AI will make will improve our quality of living so much that we'd probably still live about the same as we do now.

@@globalzox Let me correct you here *Everyone will be able to create soulless things. And great art. Including the art of the great masters will drown in this sea of horrible lifeless creations. Because some people won't be able to tell he difference. Just like people can't tell a quality difference between Cardi B or Motzart. just as an example. Though I will choose Cardi B over all this AI music yet to come. At least Cardi B, will have some, if not much soul in her works.

[@BaddBadger]

If and when technology makes all jobs a thing of the past (they took our jobs!), are we all supposed to just watch Netflix all day? Who is going to spend hours a day learning to paint or play guitar when they've grown up in a world where new art and music is just something that an app takes care of for them (and can do it better, instantly)? Eight billion bored and bitter people with nothing to do is a recipe for disaster. In fact, if anyone can use A.I. to build a better weapon, then it's going to be apocalyptic. And the argument comparing this to previous tech revolutions is, IMO, a little off here. You know those big, really basic jigsaws with only four pieces that we give infants? Well if one had The Mona Lisa on it, and an adult put the four pieces together and seriously felt like an artistic genius who had just ''painted'' that great work of art, then we would treat that person as ''special needs''. But i feel like with A.I. this going to be exactly the mindset of the future that we are encouraging now. Going back to the guitar analogy, i want to see and hear a great guitarist PLAY, i'm not gonna pat an adult on the head because they thought to tell an A.I. to add a guitar to something.

[@mndtr0]

You know if don't need to work for life you can do anything what you want. Do art if you like it even if AI can do it too. The main goal is have fun by do art (drawing or programming or music or dance etc.). Of course it will be good lifestyle if there will be UBI and you don't need to care where get food and house while AI is do all job for richies and you dying of hunger

[@BaddBadger]

@@mndtr0 Totally. And maybe when there is no way that anyone can make money from being creative then the only reason to do it would be for the love of it, which in a sense is more pure. But then in that world, how many of my favourite musicians would never have even bothered learning to play (or would have given up early at least) if they didn't see any future in it? Sure, a lot of creatives will carry on. But i think more than half won't. And while we are being promised this amazing future, why are they getting AI to replace our hobbies, FIRST? Whenever someone wants to bring in something new that might be unpopular, they always promise that it's for something good in the long run (protecting children, fighting terrorism, etc), yet they often prove to be lying, or at least just overly optimistic. When A.I. has cured cancer, saved the environment, etc, then maybe i'll begrudgingly admit that it might have been a fair trade. But above food, clothes, shelter, etc, once people feel healthy and safe, then they need a reason to live. Just existing is not enough in the long term. And maybe i'm just pathetic, but i can't imagine anything ever being as important to me as music has been in my life for the last 40 or 50 years.

[@hammerandthewrench7924]

Because I enjoy doing it?

[@savvasumin1221]

I felt like you were building up to an important point there, but then took a different course) The question “Why is it art that AI is so focused on?” has a fairly direct answer and, more importantly, one that is very much glossed over in the popular discourse about AI (in the mass media, in AI companies’ leaders’ talks and so on).

 AI is so focused on art because it’s easy. It is, essentially, the easiest route you could take if you were looking to train an “AI” (or rather a machine learning model) in today's world. Now, I’m not in any way devaluing either the work human artists do, or the process by which they arrive at their creations, which is nigh impenetrable to someone like me.
 But you have to take a different perspective here - from one point of view, art is art, from another - art is content. You also have to consider what these models really are, and that is hard to do because of jargon and terminological shenanigans in which AI companies so freely engage. For instance, the word “intelligence” is used veeery loosely in this discourse, a better term to describe what contemporary “AIs” are would be “probability engines” or something to that effect, but that’s a fairly well-known example. A term that worries me in particular is “hallucination”. When an LLM (like ChatGPT) produces text that is patently false - we say it hallucinated, when a diffusion transformer (like DALL-E or Sora) produces people with 6 fingers (along with the examples in your video) - we hear the same explanation. What no one really bothers to expound on is that these models essentially “hallucinate” everything they produce, it’s just that some of it happens to noticeably clash with our understanding of what the output should look like. When we say that a model hallucinated - we obscure the fact that the process by which the model arrives at “incorrect” output is the same by which it arrives at the “correct” one. Going back to my main point (bear with me) - we need to be asking questions outside the prevailing narrative, like: - Ok, let’s suppose you are trying to reach AGI; why are the first two steps in that direction a chatbot and an image generator? (this is more or less what you asked in the video, just reframed a bit) Barring some fair arguments from the standpoint of product management (that’s a whole separate rabbithole), it’s because the Internet consists chiefly of two “human-readable” components - text and images. Producing an “AI” the way it’s done today is only possible with enormous training datasets. The Internet is great for that, because it makes the data instantly accessible in very large quantities. And who cares about trademarks, or the definition of fair use, or any of that, right? :) So again, if you look at art from a kind of technocratic perspective, the the Mona Lisa and your little sister’s photos of your cat are the same thing - pixels painted in a particular pattern. The same goes for text - it’s a stretch to compare this comment to Henry V, but they do both consist of letters and words. There’s a common saying from the realm of probability theory that, given enough time, a monkey hitting the keys of a typewriter will produce Shakespeare’s works. That’s basically what LLMs do - they just do it very quickly and are moderated and retrained along the way. To conclude - I have to say that, after some digging, this whole affair seems very insidious to me. There are some people who have very nuanced, realistic (to the best of my understanding) takes of what contemporary AI is and what it is not - Noam Chomsky (who is a linguist), Jim Keller (legendary microprocessor engineer), Jonathan Blow (indie game developer, prolific programmer), I’d advise anyone interested to look into those. --- Sorry for the rant :) I’d like to add that I loved your video, you definitely deserve all the subs you can get (count me in, by the way). Very much looking forward to seeing more of you! And good luck in your endeavour of “rising against the machine”, so to speak - it’s a noble one as far as I can tell.

[@itsbenaminute]

Thanks! I enjoyed reading your comment. Really appreciate your perspective and diving into the topic deeper

[@TheManinBlack9054]

the author of the video is just mistake, its not only focused on art jobs, thats just wrong. and its not only them that could be replcaed.

[@savvasumin1221]

@@TheManinBlack9054 no, I don’t think he’s wrong at all, at the very least he’s right to be worried about his occupation in particular. To your point - there are lots of examples of professions that were wiped out by automation in the past: switchboard operators, data-entry clerks, various warehouse and factory jobs, etc. The most ironic example to my mind are human computers (who actually used to just be called “computers”) :) Up to about the second half of the 20th century, if you needed to perform computations - you just used humans for that, there were no alternatives [shrug]. Today, almost all computations are performed by non-human computers :) So, to be clear - you’re definitely not wrong in supposing that it’s going to keep happening. Now, there’s a lot of talk about professions that could be replaced/phased out if AIs like ChatGPT and Sora continue to improve, one of the most discussed of those were computer programmers. On a surface level, this concern seems justified, since programming languages actually are languages, so (perceptually) a language model can be trained to write code in much the same way that it can be trained to write text. This turned out to be at least partially true - ChatGPT is quite capable at some low-level tasks that programmers do almost daily, although the problem of so-called “hallucination” (among other things) prevents them from being deployed in an autonomous fashion. However, pretty quickly people have realized that programming (or, rather, being a programmer) is actually a whole lot more complicated than just writing code, since the discipline exists, basically, to solve problems using algorithms and data structures, and problems in the real world are mostly quite complex and require lots of actions (besides just writing code) and understanding to solve. I can speak to that as someone who works in IT in a very large company - cases where programming constitutes more than about 15-20% of the raw time and effort spent on a development project are EXTREMELY rare. Granted, programmers aren’t really there to actively participate in the remaining 80% of processes, but they do need to “interface” between these processes and the code base, otherwise developing anything in an enterprise context is impossible. In other words, besides writing code, a programmer takes input from various parties inside a given company and uses that to construct a model of the solution to their problem. And while LLMs can sort-of kind-of write code, they cannot do the other parts of a programmer’s job, without which writing code has very little value, or may even be counterproductive. This is just one example to demonstrate, that in some occupations, even if the output we seek is “just text” (like programming) - an LLM can’t really be significantly useful, because (in the existing process) there are lots of things “attached” to how code is produced and what it does; usefully integrating an LLM into this process would require dramatic changes to the process itself. But we can differentiate programming from many other occupations by the following: - Code is not really subjective; the program either works, or it doesn’t. And this is something that can’t really be said about some other jobs - like copywriting and illustration. My main argument is that, while it may be possible to integrate AI into existing systems and processes in a useful way (that will, in the video author’s words, make jobs easier) - the point after which this will require substantial overhauls of surrounding systems and processes will come very quickly and, as I suspect, it will remain cost-prohibitive for a long time. On the other hand, if you’re an SMM manager in an advertising agency - I would argue that you may not need a copywriter and an illustrator anymore. If you’re looking for a stock photo of nature (or anything besides human hands, really) - maybe you’d be better off just generating it So, back to the initial criticism - I think that “AI being focused on art jobs” is a fair characterisation. It may be more correct to say that being focused on other jobs will require too much work inside and too much cooperation from the outside, so they (AI companies) restrict themselves to making products that generate social network avatars and witty limerics. Can they make a watchable feature-length movie, write a novel (or a working enterprise-grade software program)? Nope. Can they replace a person who, essentially, takes text as input and produces images as output? It’s starting to look very much like they can. Not exactly because anyone is looking to eliminate artists, rather because a business that needs an artist's product (content) may be very comfortable trading all the complications that result from working with a human being for a questionable substitute that can produce anything instantaneously (and almost for free, and it keeps being improved).

[@edshanks2189]

@@savvasumin1221 Very well said. There is so much misinformation out there about what AI actually is and what it can do. Both sides of the debate spread insane amounts of misinformation that cause people to get overly excited or apprehensive about the capabilities of these tools. I do think the "threat" AI poses to creative work is unique. It seems that if you have a creative vision, its going to get easier and easier to achieve that going forward. But if you're someone who has a specific skillset you like to use to create things, and you're unwilling to change your workflow, it will make life more difficult. I also work in IT (sort of IT adjacent), and people often ask me if I'm afraid AI is gonna take my job, and while some portions can be automated, the fact that AI isn't actually intelligent means its more of a tool for me than a replacement...at least for now (fingers crossed, lol). I don't say that to demean artists at all, btw.

I've been doing tech (software, electronics, audio, mechanical stuff) for a very long time. I can give you a very simple and absolutely comprehensive answer to "why did company x create that software / gadget?" - the answer is because they found they could. Companies will (almost) never ask "is this going to be good for society?" because they just don't. If they discover that they can do it, and they think there might be either profit or good marketing exposure in it, they will do it. So let's imagine for a moment that company x, for some inexplicable reason, decides not to make the gadget. Guess what. Company y will make it. Absolutely guaranteed. So is there any point in company x holding off on something that might have some negative consequences? Well, not really. Next month 5 other companies will be doing it anyway, even if it will trigger the end of society as we know it.

AGI would, from a social perspective, be akin to instantaneously regressing to pre-industrial revolution society with no time to adjust. Basically all industrial and information-based jobs would be cut as capitalists would see no need to keep human employees instead of the cheaper AI, leaving millions, or even billions, without a means of support. Places with benefits systems would see those systems collapse immediately because they are not designed to support entire populations. Cities would simply cease to be viable, leading to mass and desperate migration to the countryside, where most of the land is already owned and there aren't nearly enough jobs to cover for our current information and industrial employment rates. A large percentage of humanity would starve to death. The majority of humans left would be land-owning subsistence farmers, ruled over by a wealthy militarised elite that owns the AGI. Put simply, with our current political systems it would end our civilisation, and if it's possible then it poses a greater threat than giving a 3 year-old the US nuclear codes.

You might be wrong about one thing. OpenAI may not be focused on art creation with Sora, but KZbin definitely is. Sora looks like an example of an AI that can witness events in a world (real or imagined) and deduce how the world works, and act upon that world creatively. Think about the implications of that beyond video creation. The demonstration of Sora may have just been a tactic to get the public to think about what's coming. So, let's start thinking beyond Sora.

It doesn't deduce or witness anything. You pour a collection of bits in one end and based on a sophisticated set of calculations you get another set of bits out of the other end.

what @Taodoggy-fj7ll said is totally right and people like @patgamer are why normies will be obsolete soon. You see "oh video generation software" but you don't understand what an AI needs to be capable of to do video generation from text. It needs to understand literally how the world works. As OpenAI calls it a world simulator. to make a believable video it needs to understand how the world and its inhabitants work.

@@DubsCheckumPrograms don't understand anything, they're nothing more than a bunch of transistors with voltage, making a comparison to the human brain is kind of silly, if AI is intelligence that means compilers are also intelligence, because both use tokenizers and both use syntactic analysis, the main difference is the "machine learning portion" which is nothing more than really complicated math, statistics and probability, it uses data and makes a prediction on what the output should look like, based on input, nowhere in this process is there "intelligence", if data science is equivalent to intelligence, then liaon5b is a genius, then your web browser's a genius, any equation or algorithm that leads to a specific result can then be labeled "intelligence" literally as @pratgamer said, bits on one end, bits out on the other based on calculations.

Is AI not just the eventual end of intelligence in the universe? My argument is that if AI is just the natural conclusion anyways, why not just accept it and make progress to that? We KNOW that we as humans aren't the pinnacle of intelligence possible, we can easily imagine that if we tweaked human breeding for starters we could probably breed smarter humans. So we KNOW that we aren't the limit of intelligence. Furthermore we know that if we can breed smarter humans, that we could PROBABLY build something larger than what can be done through biology. So we KNOW that intelligence can probably extend beyond human capabilities. We may not know just how much yet, but it's possible. IF that's the case then I don't get why we are so focused on preserving humanity? What is the point of preserving humanity for another 1000 years? 10,000 years? 1,000,000 years? If we COULD create an intelligence that has the potential to far surpass us, to unlock the mysteries of the universe and to do more than us then don't we have an ethical obligation to nurture that intelligence as best we can and let it have it's time? TO ME it's like a dinosaur trying to prevent mammals from ever coming along because it's scared that the mammals will take over. What is the point of dinosaurs getting another 100,000 years of reign? The dinosaurs aren't the pinnacle, neither are we and I think that's fine. We should be working TOWARDS that pinnacle. I think we are just being egotistical.

Nothing can compete with 8 billion networked devices provided freely by the average Joe., at least not right now There are already software for it if you're not aware. As for resource, most are actually abundant. They're just hard to extract. Aluminum makes up 8% of Earth's crust for instance yet it's not cheap. Scarcity is technical mostly and while there are elements that only occur in trace amounts, they're not that essential for our well-being and we just have to figure out ways to recycle them. Open-source AI is already on it's way to do exactly that if you're not aware. We ALL need more or less the same things: food, water, shelter, clean air, housing, wifi and plenty of connection and free time. But that's about it. The rest is just artificially created desires through sensational marketing campaigns. Many people only need those superficial things because they live in perpetual conflict due to the competitive market system that alienates us from each other. Those false satisfiers only help mask an inner void. AI can can fill this void as well by offer companionship but it doesn't have to be AI of course. All we need is science and compassion along with a reeducational programme to unbrainwash us from our fabricated desires after we've figured out what we truly need to live a truly fulfilled life. Really, there's not much that we need for that a human beings who've to live in caves for 300k years and shared everything with each other freely.

It can happen on a purely voluntary basis as zero cost if the 8 billion of us see enough value in it. As for scarcity, most of it is only artificial. Aluminum is 8% Earth's crust but its not cheap. Why? Because of technical barriers of extraction. But this can be overcome with the help of upcoming AI as well. As for desires people might have on top of the simple pleasures of life that cost nothing, they're mostly artificially created as well by the market system, for profit.

"Why are they going after Art with A. I.?" I posit that they are trying to make a god of supreme intelligence. If you read a lot of fiction, particularly sci-fi, frequently someone will say something like the essence of being human is expressed in human art, in the ability to feel, in the ability to be genuinely creative, to speak novel thoughts, to think. So it would stand to reason that an A. I. that can do art in the truest sense would potentially be able to think. Text and art generation demonstrate that the A. I. have some level of understanding built into the model. As it stands they are looking to give their creation a mouth to speak, eyes to hear, and hands to move the brush. The question is what will happen when they combine all of these parts to make a signal A. I. and then what will it do? What will happen when it can process stimuli in real-time? Consuming the air industry is mostly a means of funding this larger endeavor; a secondary effect. The jobs lost will be of minor concern when the main event starts.
